Announcement: Peirce Secondary School Secondary 1 posting and registration matters

A very warm welcome to our Peirce Family!

Please note that students do not need to report to their posted secondary schools upon receiving their Secondary 1 posting results.

Should parents wish to speak with our Year Heads, School Counsellor, or Special Needs Education Officer, you may do so on 19 December, Friday, from 9am to 12pm. Please enter the school via the front gate as there is some construction going on at the back gate this week. The back gate will be available for use when school reopens. 

Parents, please take note of the following important matters. Thank you for your attention.

1. Registration
All parents must register their child at their posted school even if they are seeking a transfer to another school. Registration must be completed by 22 December 2025, 12 noon via the link shared on Parent Gateway.
Students seeking transfers should complete all administrative matters and report on 2 January 2025, Friday, 7:30 am at the Parade Square until the transfer is approved.

For parents/guardians who are unable to access Parent Gateway, you may use this link to complete the registration. Link: https://go.gov.sg/peircesec1registration2025

If you are unable to register online, please call the school at 6457 6454. Our staff will assist you.

2.Appeals
2a. Medical Appeal Exercise (MAE)
For MAE, transfer appeals will only be considered on exceptional basis for students with serious medical conditions. All appeals must be accompanied by relevant supporting documents and submitted to Peirce Secondary School General Office before 12 noon on 22 December 2025.

2b. Appealing to Peirce Secondary School (Non-Medical reason)
Primary 6 students who wish to appeal to Peirce Secondary School may use the following form: https://go.gov.sg/appeal-in-2025
Transfer requests will be subject to available vacancies and Peirce’s cut-off point for this year.

3. Accepting offer to study subjects at a more demanding level
Full Subject-Based Banding (Full SBB) has been implemented in all secondary schools since 2024. Students may take English Language, Mother Tongue Languages, Mathematics and/or Science, at a more demanding level from the start of Secondary 1 based on their PSLE AL scores in the subject.

Eligible students will be given letters of offer via Parent Gateway (PG) or email. Parents/Guardians, together with their child/ward, must decide whether to take up the offer by 26 December 2025, 10 am.

If parents/ guardians do not respond by the deadline, the school will take it as the student will not take up the offer, and the decision is final.

4. Purchase of textbooks and uniforms
We encourage all parents/ guardians to purchase textbooks and uniforms online. You can collect your purchases from the school bookshop or arrange for home delivery for a fee.

Update as of 23 December: For parents who were unable to place their orders by 21 December, Asencio will be extending online ordering until 29 December 2025. Please note that due to logistical constraints, these orders will only be delivered by 12 January 2026.

As such, the school advises parents to proceed with a walk-in purchase instead. The bookshop’s operating hours are as below:

9am to 3pm (Mon to Fri)
Closed on Sat, Sun, eve of PH and PH
